On today's 46th Episode of The Thriller Zone, I'm stoked to welcome a super-star writer, a super-nice and down-to-earth guy who happens to be a #1 New York Times Bestselling Author. Mark Greaney is a prolific author I've followed for years. And you'll soon see why.

Today, we will discuss his latest thriller surrounding the ever-popular hero known as "The Gray Man." Yes, the book is SIERRA SIX, and folks let me tell you it's a genuine page-turning in every sense of the world. Mark will also share what it's like to be one of the few artists who have been able to carry on the tradition of the late, great Tom Clancy.

As you can imagine with nearly two-dozen hits to his credit, Mark shows no signs of slowing down.

On this hour-long podcast, there is so much to take away. Mark has such a wide variety of insights to the publishing business, and he breaks it down into such simple understandable and relatable ways. If you're a writer who dreams of one day making it into the "big boy's club," some of his insights will give you both courage to push further, as well as hope that you can make it. Part of his mantra: Complete Something.

But you'll want to listen to learn more.

Finally, when we get into "Rapid Fire Questions" you'll get to know a whole different side of this author. It's a hoot!

On Today’s 45th Episode of The Thriller Zone, I’m happy to introduce you to a relative newcomer Emilya Naymark, author of BEHIND THE LIE, which is the second book in a series involving former NYPD Detective turned small-town PI Laney Bird.

Here’s a description: NYPD detective turned small town PI Laney Bird is in a fight to save lives—including her own—after a neighborhood block party turns deadly.

A transplant to the upstate New York hamlet of Sylvan, all Laney wants is a peaceful life for herself and her son. But things rarely remain calm in Laney’s life—and when her neighborhood summer block party explodes in shocking violence and ends with the disappearance of her friend and another woman, she’ll need all her skills as a PI to solve a mystery that reaches far beyond her small town.

As people closest to Laney fall under suspicion, the local authorities and even her colleagues question her own complicity. And then there’s fifteen-year-old Alfie, her complicated and enigmatic son, obviously hiding something. Even as Laney struggles to bury evidence of her boy’s involvement, his cagey behavior rings every maternal alarm.

Laney’s personal life unravels as she’s drawn into her missing friend’s dark secrets and she realizes she and Alfie are in danger. With treachery blazing hot as the searing summer sun, Laney fights to save lives, her family’s included.

Please join me as we meet a woman who is no doubt on the rise in the Crime-Suspense-Thriller world.

On today’s podcast, I’m happy to welcome the dynamic writing duo of Andrews-Wilson. Brian Andrews and Jeffrey Wilson make up the team who have created a number of exceptionally engaging characters in a number of series.

Those series include: Tier One, Sons of Valor, Shepherd Series, and the Presidential Agent Series.

On today’s show, we’ll discuss one of their more recent books: ROGUE ASSET, the latest in the WEB Griffin Series.

Given this is a repeat performance for these guys—both of whom have become friends—I hesitate to pontificate about all the awards and magazine covers and TV deals and multi-series deals in the making and so forth.

Instead, I’d rather you stop reading and start listening to one of the more enjoyable podcasts of the new year.

So, strap in, pour yourself a tasty beverage and let’s get into The Thriller Zone.

On today’s 38th Episode of The Thriller Zone, I welcome Special Guest Tammy Temple to co-host the show with me. Tammy is the Estate Manager for N4FL Worldwide, and one-half of The Dave & Tammy Tour Podcast (currently on hiatus but rumored to return in '22).

Tammy joins the podcast to discuss The Thriller Zone's Top Thriller TV Series, Movies, and of course, Books of 2021. Some of them you’ll expect, some you may not.

As for TV Series, there were some doozies. And books? There were so many, it's been super tough narrowing it down to only 10; however, there should have been Top 36 or so, as I've been a reading maniac since launching the podcast in June.

In between, we’ll chat about some of the talented craftsmen and women who have strongly influenced our lives, both in entertainment, as well as personally. Many of you know who you are.

By the end of the show, you’ll gain insights as to the “Movers & Shakers” we’ve come to admire, as well as the people we’re keeping our eyes whom we think will make significant strides in the New Year.

Honestly, I can’t think of a better co-host than my awesome wife to make this final show of the year, one of the very best!

Once again, it’s time to Get In The Thriller Zone!
